~*~She Walks...~*~

She walks alone in the dark
Waiting for the light to come
She speaks out loud, although no one is there
Somehow she feels more heard this way.
The night has never looked so dark,
And the light has never seemed so far away
But she keeps walking...unsure of what's ahead.

Hours pass, still no sign of the light she is searching for
She begins to let the fear set in, mind racing, palms sweating,
Maybe the light is not coming after all?
The tick-tock from her watch seems louder than her footsteps...
Waiting, still. Waiting.

Another hour passes, she begins to talk louder
Hoping her voice will scare away her fears
Can anyone hear her? Is anyone around?
She feels like she is drowning in the darkness.
She keeps walking, head held high, still waiting for the light.
Acceptance starts to sets in, it may never come,
But she has to continue walking.

Her voice, a scream now,
Trying to silence her fears which grow louder with every step
Paranoia, chaos, confusion and pain.
She knows now, she is alone.
For if anyone were around they surely would have come by now,
Would have led her to the light she seeks.

Acceptance...
She stops talking, no one can hear her...
She stops walking, there is no where to go...
She sits down on the cool ground.
She will remain alone in the dark...waiting...
For the light that will never come.
